Not a fan of sugary sodas and don’t mean to be negative but the first stat in the movie is wrong. Soda and sugary drinks comprise 16% of the diet of all Americans based on the 2010 Dietary Guidelines (page 27). There is no reason to exaggerate because 16% is bad enough.

I don’t think they were trying to exaggerate; I think they were trying to say the largest source of added sugar comes from soda and sugary drinks, which they should definitely fix, if that is the case. Either way, phenomenal video.

I stand corrected. I just read their website and it says,

“Sugary drinks are the single-largest source of calories
in the American diet, providing an average of about 7 percent of total calories per person, and that average includes all the people who rarely drink them. The percentage of calories from sugary drinks is much higher for people who consume them often—such as several times a day.”

So they are saying that as a collective diet, this is where most of our calories come from. I think?
